We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our two dogs to a wonderful dog sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She treated our dogs as if they were her own, showing genuine care and affection throughout their stay. One of the standout aspects of her service was her flexibility and accommodation of our schedule. Despite our last-minute changes, she remained understanding and ensured that our dogs were well taken care of at all times. She took our dogs on regular walks, which they absolutely loved, and she sent us frequent updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy and safe. Her confidence and competence were evident from the moment we met her, and it was clear that she has a true passion for animals. Overall, we highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We will certainly be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

I strongly recommend Elaine as your pet sitter. I recently hired her (ApplePaws) to care for my two adult cats during a 3-week trip, and I was incredibly impressed with their dedication, reliability, and love for animals. Elaine was incredibly attentive to my cats' and my needs. She carefully followed my instructions, ensuring they were fed, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I have an automatic, self-cleaning litter box, but one day it got stuck at night and after notifying her, she immediately came to fix it (otherwise it would have been a disaster!). In addition to their excellent care, Elaine was always punctual, communicative, and trustworthy since the beginning. She kept me updated on my cats' well-being throughout my trip, sharing pictures and sending me texts, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would not hesitate to recommend ApplePaws, to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. She is truly a gem, and I am grateful for the service provided

Details: Cat • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

We had a great experience with ApplePaws from scheduling until the last day of our vacation. We received the perfect amount of pictures throughout the week and communication was great. We could tell our 2 dogs were very well cared for and loved. Elaine was very responsive of our home and even sent us a note regarding a concern. I would definitely use ApplePaws services again.

Details: 2 dogs • 10 years or older • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 15 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • Feeding • Medication • My home, venue, etc.

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our cat, Cleopatra, to Elaine of ApplePaws, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From our first communication, Elaine exuded professionalism, warmth, and a genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Elaine put our minds at ease by providing regular updates and detailed descriptions of Cleo’s activities and mood. Despite Cleo’s usual wariness around strangers, Elaine made a concerted effort to interact with her, and we were pleasantly surprised to hear that Cleo even allowed Elaine to pet her. Upon our return, we found Cleopatra happy and relaxed. The litter box was clean, her food and water were well-maintained, and our home had been respected and kept tidy. Elaine went above and beyond our expectations, demonstrating reliability, attentiveness, and a heartfelt commitment to pet care. We wholeheartedly recommend ApplePaws to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. Your furry friend will be in excellent hands!
